So I landed in Manila and slept there over the night. Then I took a flight to Puerto Princessa. I met some friends (in the plane and at the airport) and we rented a van(6 hours ride from Puerto Princessa to El Nido).

I stayed about 9 days in El Nido and then I took a boat and I explored Coron. At the end of my trip I returned to El Nido by a boat then Puerto Princessa again because I had a flight to Manilla from Puerto.

Things to do in El Nido:

📍 Go to the beach

📍 Rent a scooter

YOU can rent a scooter for 1 day for 500 pesos. It is the best way to explore the landscape and especially Napcan Beach. Although if you prefer, you can take tricycle and pay 1500 pesos.

📍 Island hopping:

Tour A

Small and Big lagoon

Tour C

Matinloc Shrine – limestone cliffs, Secret Lagoon, Hidden Beach

More information about Tours:

The most popular are Tour A and C! Go ahead with the tour C. Because If the sea becomes rough the tour C is going to be cancelled right away. (tour C is on the open sea).

Tour Itinerary– boat leaves early in morning around 8.30 am and comes back around 5 pm. A lunch is included in the price.

snorkeling

canoeing

cliff jumping

You can also connect tour A and C and sleep in a tent on the beach over the night. Just to add a bit of adventure into your day plus to save a bit of money on the accommodation. Lots of drinks and party guaranteed.

Beaches:

Las Cabbanas

What a great sandy beach! Just 5 min by tricycle from the centre of El Nido. This Beach is a great place to watch a sunset as well. I usually asked the driver to stop in nearest market (on the way) and I bought papaya and fresh coconut. 😉🙃 The ride was 80-100 pesos, but you can also walk to that beach.

Napcan Beach

45 min by motorbike – there is a great beach restaurant where I ate the best food in a month in Philippines 😍 DEFINITELY don’t miss that one!
